4.0 out of 5 stars Great tables to evaluate whether Roth or Traditional is best, March 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Roth IRA Made Simple (Paperback)
I bought this book to help me prepare for seminars I presented on the Roth IRA. It gave a clear understanding of the rules for Roth contributions, but its greatest strength was the tables that let one compare the future benefits of Roth/Traditional IRA based on current and future tax brackets, rates of return, as well as present age. Another feature was dealing with the future value of what Gary calls "Opportunity Costs" when considering a conversion from traditional IRAs to Roth Conversion. Opportunity costs is the future value of the money that needs to be paid to the government when the IRA is converted. Again, current and future tax brackets, age, and rates of return are clearly presented. A must for anyone who really wants to get a grasp on the numbers and not just skim along the surface.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Roth IRA Made Simple (Paperback)
I think there are better books out there for someone who is just looking for general information. This goes into a lot of detail for those who want to know all about the inner working of a Roth IRA. I purchased Suze Orman's book that is more generalized and has higher-level information that I was looking for.
